If you love Cathy, raise your hand!


Did anybody else besides me find Ashley Ferrare's character hot? That woman was smokin' and I can't believe Sho didn't want to be more than just a teacher to this woman. She definitely had an interest in him though. In this movie, what was your favorite scene with Ashley in it and tell why. I liked the scene where she and Cho are first training in the dojo. Sweeet!

reply

Mine is when Cathy is rescued by Kane after fighting Cathy's Tattooed Torturer. When Cathy calls the police for Lt. Dime, you can see her chest, even though she's wearing her wet shirt and panties. Now that's hot and sweet there.

reply

Cool! What about the part where she and Braden are making out? Now that's definitely a site for sore eyes! Seeing her in that white lingerie...whoo baby!

reply

I love that part too. Too bad Ashley Ferrare isn't making good flicks anymore. But she sure was sexy in '83.

reply

For real. I've tried searching for this lady everywhere on the internet and no one has seen nor heard from her in a while. It's like she just vanished like a ghost. You might find an occasional picture of her on the net every once in a while, but that's it. No biography, no history on her, no idea what she's even doing now. It's a shame.

Dude, you bet I'm glad somebody responded! Man, I'm glad somebody else besides me has seen this woman and wants to know what she's doing. You know, if they decide to do a special edition DVD of Revenge of the Ninja, they should have some of the main cast members do an audio commentary on this movie. I'd like to know what they're opinions were when they did this movie.

As for Cho, my jaw just dropped when he passed up a chance to hit on Cathy! I'm like, 'Dude, what are you thinking?' My guess was that he was the teacher and Cathy was the student and he wanted to keep their relationship on a professional basis. Plus, Cho was still in mourning about his love, Yoshi, who was attacked by ninjas earlier in the movie. Still, I think Cho should have tried to have a relationship with Cathy and see where it would go from there. He could be with another woman, but he wouldn't have to forget about Yoshi. Just as long as he keeps her in his heart and I'm sure Yoshi wouldn't want Cho to spend the rest of his life in sadness.

Hey, Ghost7, thanks for responding man. I'm glad that I found some fans of Ashley Ferrare out there.

You guys must have been on crack when you watched this film. That woman looked terrible. I wanted to smack her in the face the first moment I saw her in that red bathrobe and those nylon stockings. She didn't even have any acting ability that could redeem her unattractive features.

Yo man, no doubt. How on earth can somebody say something like that about Ashley?! The reason of her being in that movie was to provide eye candy, nothing more! That's how movies in the 80s were like. Ashley was there to show off her body and look sexy. I doubt the makers of this movie were going for any academy awards or anything when they did this.

reply

I did not seen the movie. Can somebody tell me if Ashley Ferrare has other fights in this one ? (Except the scene in the dojo).

reply

She has two fights in the dojo - one being a sparring match with Sho Kosugi, and then another "real" fight against Shane Kosugi in the second half of the film.

reply

Please tell me : she wins ?

reply

Technically yes she does win. They trade blows equally thoughout the fight. Shane, who was very young at the time of this movie does some pretty cool moves with a wooden staff.

The kid has her dead to rights as the staff had a blade on the end of it which became exposed, but he turns his back on her, and then she picks him and carries him off.

reply

I agree with you, Camille! "Cathy" wasn't all that hot. A little sexy maybe. But her acting did indeed SUCK with a Capital-S! So did her karate! That was obvious and hilarious when Kane outwitted and outmatched her on the practice mat! (If only Kane's karate yells weren't so annoying! He sounded like a whiney little brat. But his moves were awesome!) Braden's evil laugh and taunting was so contrived and phoney, it was annoying and pathetic and laughable in itself. But as a ninja, he could sure kick butt! (It was probably a stunt double, though.)

reply

Yeah, he had a stunt double by the name of Eddie Tse.

reply

Probably had a stunt double? Braiden looked like he shrank a foot after he put on the ninja outfit. :-)

As for Cathy, cmon man, she was hot. You think she was in lingere 90% of the time because of her acting skills? She was eye candy and she did her job like a pro. Heh, heh.

I don't know why so many are interested in her current whereabouts though. I mean no disrespect to her, but people have to remember that beautiful girls trying to get movie roles are a dime a dozen in L.A. It was all the work she could get and after seeing her act, she was lucky to be cast at all. If I had to guess, she probably married a rich producer and has a family.

reply

Well, Timber, when Caifano talks to the One-Eyed Informant, Braden grabs for his shuriken. Take a good look at his hands. The fingernails really belong to Sho Kosugi. He did his own ninja stuff on his fight with John LaMotta in the park bathroom, the star thrown into the Informant's other eye, blew a dart into Gino's back and drowned his lover in the tub with a katana sheath, wasted Granny Osaki in the practice room, in the roof top bout with Kane, garrotting Prof. Toru Tanaka's neck, the confrontation with Caifano's goons, and killing Hatcher.

When it comes to the rooftop battle, Eddie Tse donned Braden's ninja duds when Sho played Cho. Arthur Roberts just did the parts where he's unmasked and stuff. Looks like Arthur is not really a ninja in reality. lol

BTW, did you think Ashley looked cool in a twisty headband? I did.

reply

Yo, you can tell all of that just from looking? Dang, you got skills dude.

reply

Timberlinetoast will also know this, Sho easily died over 10 times in Enter the Ninja, he played almost all of the bad ninja guys in the film, as well as the main villian.

"We're all afraid of the dark inside ourselves."

She's pretty hot, but it's almost as though she doesn't care that much for the little kid. When Braden says "He and his father must die", she says "Don't kill Cho, please." Lol!

Rocky VI must happen! Sean Penn said so!

reply

Funny you mentioned that. I didn't pick up on that until just recently. I don't know.

reply

I just rented the movie, and she was indeed smoking hot in her lingerie. WOW!

reply

If my hand were raised any higher I could touch the stars.

’Cause there’s thunder in your heart... Every move is like lightning!

reply

[deleted]

she was beautiful and probably my earliest attempt at watching porn! the scene with her and Braden! Love the stockings and garters!!!

reply

Aw yeah! This woman definitely had the goods and she displayed em' for all to see! A lot of people liked her dojo scene with Cho the most! Whatever became of this woman?

reply

[deleted]

No doubt she was hot but she wasn't a 10. I pretty sure she left acting back in the 80s and now she's probably an old hag! LOL!

I don't know why she left. She could've continued into the 90s if she wanted to.

reply

Bump for Cathy!

She was ruined by those man-made tumors that someone wedged into her chest. Trade her two plastic bags of caulking compound for a pair of boobs of the same size or bigger and she would've been hot, especially in her wet tank top scene.
